FROM WASHINGTON.

The president received deputation
from Great Britain who desired his CO.
operation in securing treaty between
that country and the United States, which
shall provide for the amicable settlement
! of disputes by arbitration. Andrew Car.
negie introduced the visitors to the presi-
dent in short address, in which he pre-
scented the great importance of the
question. Right Hon. Lyon Playfair, rep
resenting the members of parliament and
John Wilson, presenting the trade con-
gress, also made short addresses in favor

The annual report of Commodore
Harmony, chief of the naval bureau of
yards and docks, asks for an appropriation
of 81, 10000 for the maintenance of the
navy yards throughout the United States
during the next fiscal year. He recon-
mends that the water fronts of the navy
yards at Norfolk, Va, and Mare Island,
CAL, be increased, and that new naval
dry dock be constructed at the Pensacola,
Fla, navy yard. Commodore Harmony
says the appropriations for the past year
were entirely insufficient to prevent the de-
cay of government property.
The collections of internal revenue for
the first quarter of the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1887, were $31, 1885, 66, being
$2,461, 1872 more than the same quarter of

ADULTERATED DRINKS.

Fate of Two Parisians Who Dealt in Wine
Made without Grape Juice.
French wine merchants who complain
of the manufacturers of Hamburg
champagne and other German imita-
tions of the juice of the grape sold I'M
der the name of noted French vintages,
have evidently little to learn in the art
Of adulteration. Two of these gentle
men, named Linden and Margot, have
iust been tried for selling spurious
ines, through commercial brokers, in
pu5 lie sales as Macon, st. Julien, st.
+n ion, etc. A public analyst gave
~.--ence that the wines were not wine
at all; they were composition made
with an infusion of dried raisins,
colored with extract of coal tar. The
defendants pleaded that they had sold
the wines as they received them, and
that the persons who had consigned the
wines to them were well known. They
also called as witnesses a number of
wine-shop keepers, who declared that
as wines 90 the defendants wine was
not worse than any other, on which the
judge remarked that it was not saying
much Tor the articles they sold. Some
purchasers of the wine said that they
believed in it because it was sold by
a licensed broker One of them con-
soled himself with the reflection that it
mattered little as ''People NOWADAYS
drank such muckr' And another said
that the wine had an agreeable flavor
of Strawberries, but as it gave his chill
dren the gripes after they had drank it,
he poured it into the gutter. In spite of
witnesses as to character, who spoke
highly of the commercial integrity and
honesty of the defendants. Linden was
condemned to eight months imprison-
ment and 1000 francs fine and Margot
to one month and 100 francs. The de-
PENDANTS were ordered jointly to bear
the cost of posting twenty-five printed
copies of the Judgment GEignGni's
Messenger.

The ONION for insomnia.

The onion is as staple a cOmestible in
Spain and in the south of France as the
beefsteak is in New York To judge from
the frequency of it's appearance at the
street fruit stands, it is getting to be
popularA here, too. Formerly, when
had fancy for Bohemian supper OF
Spanish onions and cheese, l had to
search the town for the vegetable con-
harrow man and corner curbstOne mer-
chant displays it as part of his stock, and
it is as cOmmn at the most pretentious
fruiterers' as pears or pippins. The
Spanish onion varies in size from that of
q baseball to a baby's head, and the big
ger it is the sweeter it is 1t requires
some education and plenty of salt to be
able to eat it like an apple, as the Span
iard's do, but it is even to the uninitiated
q not unsavOry mOrsel, and is specially
popular with people who suffer from
sleeplessness. On one occasion a very
eminent theatrical artist of my acquaint-
ance surprised us over a banquet of
onion, cheese and beer, and as he com
planned of suffering from insomnia, we
prescribed several liberal slices of the
biggest onion for him. He ate with an
abundant appetite. When l met him
next day asked him if he had not slept
well after his supper.
81 could have slept" he replied, ''but
my wife wouldn't let me, and she talked
this morning of applying for divorce. -

treatment without fear. A double dose Of

In tho Midst of Turkish Life.

When we step upon the bridge we are
in the midst of Turkish life. There are
stands full of bread, cakes, sweets, toys,
etc, as the case may be, and which are
movable, for one often meets the owner
of shop with it on his head, and calling
in the most dOleful tone something that
sounds like ''Ha, a" or "ou." These
men dress in the queerest fashion, and
have the appearance as though their
clothes had been thrown on and strapped
down and left there for years. / doubt if
they could ever get these rags on again so
as to cover their bodies if they were so
foOlhardy as to attempt the task of taking
them Off Those who do hard, hot work
wear very thin shirt, generally open in
f~ort- Many of them have -pecies of
leaJaeIu cushion attached to their back,
and hen carry suclfloads as trunks. heavy
barrels, etc, indeed, so heavy that thew
bend until their bodies are at right
angles with their legs.

lowing along in hope of securing aims.
No one pays them any attention, for all

break their children's legs, and then al

Paid to the Actors.

Before Henry E. Abbey went back to
England he gave these figures from his
books to indicate to what extent Ameri-
can people have paid to see celebrated
actors under his management: Bernhardt,

$500, 900; Mary Anderson, 1856, 1854,
049; total in six seasons, So, 525, 534 Of
course Patti and Nilsson sang compare
lively few times, and the season of Bern

short. Even allowing the usual leeway
most managers estimate require it

NORWEGIAN COSTUMES.
The Originals of Many Modern Novel

ties-NOrwegian National Music.
Here, as all over the world now, French
cooking prevails, and there is that general
and deplorable ambition to let the old
customs be laid aside, and all meet on the
plane of the one commonplace and uni
versal The peasants give up their pic
turesque old dresses of gay hOmespun
clothes and linens because a plain bod
ice and skirt of some factory goods can
be bought much cheaper and the carved
wood and old silver table pieces are re-
placed by other machine made and cleo
tro plated stuffs One has only to look at
the colored plates in the book of Norwe-
gian costumes to see what picturesqueness
there use& to be, when every church
parish had it's own particular dress.
Modern Paris can offer no greater variety
in the cut of vests and open bodices than
these old costumes display, AID in buttons
and clasps Norway is still supreme.
Among these costumes that were worn
without change of fashion for centuries
one often finds the originals of modern
novelties The old Ballingdal women
wore the Mother Hubbard dress for gen
erations, the same loose skirt gathered to
q high yoke that was fashions raging
fancy in America only a few years since.
And in Thelemarhen, and in parts OF 0we-
den, the peasant wOman's black wooden
skirts have always been pressed and
steamed into plaits, exactly after the
manner of the accordion skirts that were
introduced as novelties a few years since
At Bergen more particularly, one can
buy dolls habited in these various cos
TUNES, and if some charitable association
wanted to get up a charming and novel
fete, a Norwegian fair could be easily
managed, with pretty girls in the differ
emit costumes, with peasant dolls and
aprons for sale, some Norwegian dishes
on the supper room menu, and NorWe-
gian folk songs given in chorus.
The best of all collections of NOrwe-
gian national music is The Norway Music
Album, " published in the United States
by the Ditsons. That genius and pa
triot, Ole Bull, who stands as the fore
most figure in Norwegian art, had a hand
in making suggestions and looking over
this collection made by Professor Ras-
mus Anderson. 1t is full of pretty
chOruses and part songs, and the bridal
professions, the spring dances and the
Halingdal measures are given from
every district. Agile youths might do
one of the sixteen Hiallingdals, or essay
the spring dance, where he must kick
one of the carved beams of the dancing
hall. A Norwegian fair might easily equal
the Hungarian fair that was one of the
great successes of the London season.
